At the beginning, Yuan Chang used this slogan to help Liu Xie, and everyone took this as a slogan. Who would have thought that Yuan Chang would say this sentence on top of this hall, and he couldn't help but sweat for Liu Xie.

Of course, the object of their concern was not Yuan Chang, but Liu Xie.

This somewhat rebellious sentence naturally has no market when the monarchy is strong, and whoever says will die. However, now that the monarch's power is weak, Yuan Chang said this, but Liu Xie couldn't help him. However, this sentence makes people listen to it very angrily, once Liu Xie can't hold back and a conflict breaks out with Yuan Chang, then it will definitely not be Yuan Chang who suffers.

Therefore, the officials were naturally worried about Liu Xie, and secretly thought that Liu Xie had to endure it.

Obviously, after the hijacking incident of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, Liu Xie's temperament has been improved. For Yuan Chang's words, he didn't explode on the spot, but still had an indifferent smile on his face, and asked, "Youzhou Mu, I don't know how to interpret this?"

Yuan Chang bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the pre-Qin unified the Central Plains, the enemies of my Central Plains have been transformed into northern nomads. Since the pre-Qin period, the Xiongnu have been in trouble, although they have been driven to the Mobei by our Central Plains, but they have never forgotten to invade the Central Plains. Now, on the ground where the Xiongnu once were, there is the rise of the Xianbei people, who are also nomadic people. Your Majesty should know that the nomads live by grass and do not produce, and in their eyes, we Central Plains people are their granary. Although the nomads in the north have never penetrated deep because our troops in the Central Plains are strong and strong, what should we do if our Central Plains troops are weak one day? The nomadic peoples of the north live by grazing and do not cultivate food, while we are mainly cultivated, these are two different living practices, unless they can be converted into our people. Otherwise, the threat of northern nomads is always present. Therefore, Weichen thought that when the capital was moved to Youzhou, the defense of Youzhou, Bingzhou, Liangzhou and other places should be strengthened, and the Great Wall should be strengthened to resist the northern enemy. If necessary, we can wave our troops to the north and completely incorporate the northern nomads into our Central Plains territory. ”

Liu Xie nodded, as if agreeing with Yuan Chang's words, but he also said: "What Youzhou Mu said, I also know, so when dealing with the enemies in the north, I have never relaxed my vigilance since my ancestors. It's just that, as the Youzhou pastor said, the purpose of moving the capital to Youzhou is to defend against the northern nomads, even if it is in Luoyang, can't it resist the northern nomads?"

"Your Majesty is right, Luoyang can also defend against the northern nomads..."

Yuan Chang paused, looked around, and then said: "However, Your Majesty also knows that the northern nomads grew up on horseback. When my five or six-year-old children were still playing in the mud, the northern nomads of their age were already galloping on horseback on the prairie. Once the enemy from the north invades our Central Plains, and the news reaches the Central Plains from the north, they may have all returned. Only by setting the capital in Youzhou can we monitor the dynamics of the northern nomads at any time, so that we can convey orders in time and ensure that our Central Plains will not be invaded by the northern nomads. ”

The reason why the Xiongnu can become a strong enemy of the Han Dynasty is because they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and there are few horses in the Central Plains, so they cannot form cavalry on a large scale to resist. For example, Huo Quai's attack on the Xiongnu was also because of the solid family foundation left by Wenjing's rule, and he used infantry and financial resources to consume the Xiongnu to death. And after the Xiongnu were consumed to death, the national strength of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the middle and late stages also began to decline, if it were not for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to be regarded as a master, he changed his strategy in time, I am afraid that if Wang Mang appeared, the Han would have died out.

In terms of mobility, it is indeed set in Youzhou, which is more conducive to dealing with the threat of the northern nomads, and no one in the hall has any objection to this. Of course, not opposing such a reason does not mean that they are in favor of moving the capital to Youzhou.

Wu Shuo, who was the Guanglu Xun Lang at the time, stepped forward and said: "Youzhou Mu, if you move the capital to Youzhou and resist the northern nomads, once the Central Plains change, what will happen?"

Guanglu Xun Yilang is only a level below the seventh rank in terms of grade, which is not as good as the county order. However, the Kwangroku Honorable Speaker is a special position, and the people who generally hold it are clever and discerning people, and they can answer questions in a timely manner when the emperor has them. The speaker has no role on weekdays, and is a relatively idle position. Although Wu Shuo has a low grade, he has been named a prodigy since he was a child, and he thinks that he does not need to be afraid of Yuan Chang, the pastor of Youzhou. Moreover, from the perspective of his own interests, he naturally did not approve of the proposal to move the capital.

Yuan Chang glanced at him and asked lightly, "Who is Your Excellency?"

"This official is appointed as Guanglu Xun, Wu Shuo is also!" Wu Shuo was quite complacent to report his official name, as a position that only a shrewd and intelligent person could do, Wu Shuo felt that he was proud of his capital.

"Shh

Yuan Chang couldn't help but sneer, and finally knew who this guy was.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and his behavior was excessive, which caused the dissatisfaction of hundreds of officials, so Dong Cheng and several others joined forces to punish Cao. Their actions are commendable, but their actions are somewhat ridiculous. Since everyone is like-minded and works together to eliminate Cao Cao, they still need to write their own names in blood to guarantee their will? In doing so, it seems that everyone is tied together, but in a sense, it is a distrust of each other, so it is necessary to have such a guarantee. If they trust each other, everyone can just say it, and what name do you want to write, but in the end, because of Dong Cheng's matter, everyone was exposed, and then Cao Cao gave it a pot. And Wu Shuo is one of the people involved in this incident. These people can't even think of such a confidential situation, so it can be seen that they are some mouthy strongmen who can only speak, but can't do well.

Yuan Chang looked at Wu Shuo majestically, and said in a cold voice: "Wu Yilang, Your Majesty treats the people of the world leniently, let them eat well, and wear warm clothes, where did the change come from? Could it be that the people think that rebellion is fun, and they jump out to rebel for no reason? The reason why the people rebel is also because there are too many ministers in the court like you who can only use their mouths to speak, but have no actual action, so that Your Majesty's leniency cannot be felt by the people, and they will rebel under the instigation of people with intentions. ”

"You..."

Wu Shuo almost vomited blood when Yuan Chang said something, and pointed at Yuan Chang, trembling with anger, but he didn't know how to refute it. Just like Wu Shuo's official position, his role is to say with his mouth that he really wants him to have actual actions, but I'm afraid there is really none. Therefore, he was powerless to refute Yuan Chang's words, even if he had always been intelligent and discerning, he felt powerless at this time.

Yuan Chang no longer paid attention to Wu Shuo, looked at Liu Xie, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, such officials who can only speak with their mouths and do not know how to act, if they are placed in Youzhou, the minister, they will be disgraced and dismissed, and they will be beheaded to set an example. If the world is governed by such people, when will the people be able to stabilize themselves? It is precisely because there are too many such people in the court and the central government that His Majesty's country will become like this. ”

Yuan Chang's murderous words woke up the ministers, and Yuan Chang is now the state pastor who controls a state. Moreover, some of Yuan Chang's previous ministers also knew that they united with Yuan Shao to attack Youzhou, and after success, they sat firmly in the position of Youzhou pastor; later, they sent troops to Goguryeo, which turned the land of Goguryeo into a province of Youzhou, which shows Yuan Chang's means. Of course, they didn't know that Yuan Chang had killed countless members of the Shuntian Alliance since his debut, otherwise, they would have been even more frightened. Thinking of this, the ministers who originally wanted to jump out to refute Yuan Chang didn't dare to speak.

However, as Wu Shuo's friend, the new General Wei and Uncle Guo stepped forward and said: "Youzhou Mu is exaggerating, Wu Yilang is dealing with all the major affairs of the country, so why do you need to do it yourself?"

"Ridiculous!"

Yuan Chang didn't give Dong Cheng any face, he sprayed when he was caught, and angrily reprimanded: "If the affairs of the people in the world are trivial, then what else can be regarded as a big matter? I don't even know the suffering of the people, how good can the suggestions put forward be? Dare to ask General Wei, so far, how effective is the post of the speaker for the country and the people?"

"This..."

Dong Cheng was speechless for a moment, to be honest, from the beginning of the establishment of the position of Yilang to the present, few suggestions have really had a great effect on the country. Most of the ministers who hold the position of prodigy are people with the title of prodigy, who are reused by the imperial court and have not experienced the lives of the people, and their strategies are mostly strategies that sound beautiful but are useless in practice. Although everyone knows this, because the position of the councillor is to reflect the importance that the court attaches to talents, it has never been canceled and has always existed.

Liu Xie saw that his concubine's Lao Tzu was angry by Yuan Chang, and hurriedly spoke, saying: "Youzhou Mu, Wu Yilang is also a minister loyal to the imperial court, although he doesn't know much about the people's suffering, but his strategy is mostly beneficial to the people, and Youzhou Mu doesn't need to be too strict." Of course, just as Youzhou Mu said, if I treat the people of the world well, the people will love and support me, but how can they rebel for no reason? If the people rebel, it means that the court is not good enough. ”

"Your Majesty is lenient, and the ministers are respectful!"

Seeing Liu Xie say this, Baiguan also hurriedly stood up and praised, thus stopping Yuan Chang's fighting state.

Subsequently, Cao Cao also came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the pastor of Youzhou said is very good, maybe moving the capital to Youzhou is also a good proposal." ”

When Cao Cao said this, the ministers in the palace were all surprised.

It was Cao Cao who originally proposed to move the capital, so Cao Cao naturally counted on Liu Xie to move the capital to Yanzhou, which was Cao Cao's territory, and the biggest winner was undoubtedly Cao Cao. However, now that Cao Cao is standing up to support Yuan Chang, the situation instantly makes people feel a little weird. Similarly, as the boss who controls the land of a state, Cao Cao naturally does not need to be afraid of Yuan Chang, but why did he speak out in support of Yuan Chang? If Cao Cao and Yuan Chang are opposed, they can reap the benefits of the fisherman. Now, as the two most powerful bigwigs in Luoyang City, they maintain the same opinion, and the officials seem to be unable to refute it.

Of course, that's because they don't know Cao Cao, and if they did, they wouldn't think so. And it was precisely because Yuan Chang understood this that he bluntly moved the capital to Youzhou, because he believed that after listening to his reasons, Cao Cao was very likely to support him.

Now, it turns out that Yuan Chang's idea is right.

In history, Cao Cao controlled the life and death power of the emperor after Liu Xie moved the capital to Xuchang, and his self-confidence gradually swelled, and finally embarked on the road of no return. However, Cao Cao has not yet gone through that stage, so he does not necessarily insist on moving the capital to Xuchang. Just like some people don't want to be emperors, but after being emperors and experiencing the right to control the life and death of everyone in the world, they will not give up on this position. Let's just say Liu Xie, he was the king of Chen Liu, and later became the emperor because of Dong Zhuo, and now let him abandon the throne and continue to be his king of Chen Liu, which is obviously impossible.

Moreover, Cao Cao himself was an activist in the fight against the northern nomads.

After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's forces and seized Jizhou, Youzhou and other places, Cao Cao did not go south to find trouble with Liu Biao, but went on an expedition to Karasuma. At that time, Karasuma's national strength was growing stronger and stronger, and he repeatedly invaded the Central Plains, and Cao Cao did not wait for the world to dominate the world to deal with the northern nomads, obviously, he had the same attitude towards the northern nomads as Yuan Chang. If it were someone else, it would probably be thought of solving the problem of the unification of the Central Plains first, and then thinking about anything else. But Cao Cao didn't do this, and did the opposite. Moreover, because of Cao Cao's actions, the north had a hundred years of stability, and when Cao Cao dealt with Sun Liu's forces, he was also forced by Cao Cao's pressure to send troops to help. Don't look at it just a hundred years, some families can go through four or five generations. In all dynasties, there are few such feats. Even during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were hit hard for only a few decades of stability, and there were many factors of harmony.

Based on this understanding, Yuan Changli advocated moving the capital to Youzhou in order to fight against the northern nomads, and Cao Cao would support it. For any other reason, Cao Cao is afraid that he will not agree.

Liu Xie's heart was extremely uneasy, feeling that he was being forced by Yuan Chang and Cao Cao. However, he did not erupt, but said: "Now that Youzhou Mu and Yanzhou Mu both think that it is feasible to move the capital to Youzhou, it is obviously a good proposal. I wonder if you have any other opinions?"

It's just that now in the face of the intention of Yuan Chang and Cao Cao to unite, ordinary ministers dare not stand up and speak. And there are only a few people who are qualified to speak, Dong Cheng has been refuted and has nothing to say, Yang Feng seems to be also shocked, and Yang Biao, Situ Zhaowen, and Sikong Zhang Xi, the three princes, also seem to agree with this opinion, and naturally they did not stand up against it. In this way, it seems that the relocation of the capital to Youzhou is indisputable.

"It seems that everyone's opinions are the same, and I am very relieved that you can work with one heart and one mind. ”

Liu Xie said the words of praise in his mouth, but his heart was tight, and he forcibly endured his suppressed heart, and said: "Today's court meeting has been a little long, and all of you Aiqing are my ministers, and you all go back to eat, move the capital to Youzhou, and discuss it tomorrow!"

"Retreat!"

With the shouts of the eunuchs, Liu Xie left the hall without any stop. Yang Biao and a few others also left after signaling to Yuan Chang and Cao Cao, and the rest of the ministers looked at Yuan Chang and Cao Cao and did not move, but they did not dare to make any moves.
